BLESS, I don’t have to wrap meshes around my character models anymore to do trivial body markings. :heart_eyes:

I’m so glad it’s finally here, thank you so much!
Now we just need to be able to see the material(variant) underneath for even more customisation.

This is great! Now I won’t have to manually create new tree leaf textures when I want different color variants; I can just edit the colors inside of studio.

Great update, was needed for a long time. Is there the possibility of emissive texture support being added to SurfaceAppearance (and custom materials) soon as well?

I was wanting to ask this too. I like this update, it’s great and appreciated, but what will really get me celebrating is emission maps.

his change was quite necessary since it was somewhat strange that the texture color could not be modified for a few years, so I probably agree with the other developers that we are grateful. I wanted to thank the entire team behind this :rainbow:

i wish you could set the values higher than 255 to make the mesh glow like you can do with decals

Finally! Now we need a tilling slider, a levels slider for roughness, emission map and it’ll be insane!

emission maps is already a thing, the default cracked lava uses it. roblox kept the tech for themselves for whatever reason

This is a great update. I no longer have to upload 99999999 images to see which one looks the best

This is awesome, dont wan’t to seem greedy here, but I would love if we get a similar feature for roughness and metalness. For instance, it would be very useful for making wet / reflective variants of assets for rainy environments without having to upload variants.

Emission maps is all I want from SurfaceAppearance instances now. Once that’s added, oh boy…
